Happy New Year! 2025 flew by so fast, yet a lot of great things happened in my personal life this past year. The event I’m looking forward to the most in 2026 is, of course, meeting my second child and becoming a family of four. I hope everyone has a great start to the new year, and let’s say goodbye to the old one with some December favourites.

Oden’s Eye Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighter (shade: H101 Moon Talk): I’ve loved the Oden’s Eye Solmåne Moonlight Feel highlighters since they launched year’s ago, and the green shade called H101 Moon Talk has always been my most worn one, and since I’ve worn it a lot in December (it goes well with a green eyes and red lips make-up look), I thought it was about time that I featured it in a favourites post.

Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lip liner (shade: Devoted): Another product that I’ve enjoyed since it launched is the Rare Beauty Kind Words matte lip liner. I like a lot of the original shades, but my most worn lip liner this past month has been the later released red shade called Devoted. It’s just such a good red that goes with a lot of different shades of red lipstick.

MAC Regal Red lipstick: This MAC lipstick was a part of the 2024 holiday collection, and I’ve loved wearing it again this holiday season. It’s a frost finish, and the shade of red is so versatile depending on the shade of lip liner you pair it with. I wore it with two different lip liners here and here, so you can see the difference the lip liner pairing makes.

Trollbeads Cookie Joy ring: I got this ring for Christmas last year, so I didn’t get to wear it much until this Christmas season, and I’ve worn it every time I’ve worn silver jewellery since late November. It’s just so cute.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone In Concert: Two year’s ago my sister and I went to see Love Actually In Concert, and it was such a great experience, so back in April my boyfriend and I bought tickets to go watch Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone In Concert in the beginning of December, and once again it was so good! I hadn’t watched any of the Harry Potter films before (I know, I’m a millennial, how is that even possible), and the live orchestra playing the entire soundtrack made it even more special.

5 favourites – October

Happy Halloween! Can you believe that it’s the last day of October?! A lot of things have happened in the past month, or actually the past couple of months, one thing being that we bought a house, and we’re getting the keys later on today! I can’t believe that the day is finally here. November will be all about getting the house ready and moving in, so my family will definitely be busy the next month or two. But before getting too busy, let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the month of October.

Denim Nike Cortez sneakers: These blue denim Nike Cortez sneakers has without a doubt been my most worn pair of shoes this past month. They just go with pretty much everything.

Catrice Drunk’n Diamonds eyeshadow sticks: I haven’t hauled these eyeshadow sticks yet, but I wore them here, and I loved them! As I wrote in the make-up post, they’re some of the best eyeshadow sticks I’ve ever tried! I wish Catrice would extend the shade range (they do have one more shade that I’ve also purchased), because I would buy them all.

L’Oréal Panorama volume million lashes mascara (shade: Black): It’s been a while since the last time I tried a new black mascara that I like as much as this one. The wand works for me, it looks great on the lashes, and it doesn’t transfer onto my eyelids.

Beverly Hills 90210 – season 1 (TV series): I know, how have I not watched Beverly Hills 90210 until now? I don’t have an answer to that but I finally decided to start watching the series this month, and I loved the first season. I’ve only watched a few episodes of season 2, so that’s why I’m only featuring season 1 here (for now).

The Pumpkin Spice Café – Laurie Gilmore (book): I have yet another book favourite this month, and this was the last book I finished in October. If you like the small town vibes of Gilmore Girls with a few more steamy interactions, this is for you.

5 favourites – August

Can you believe that it’s the last day of summer calendar wise? I actually sort of can, because we’ve actually had a very warm and sunny summer in Denmark this year, so the summer has felt longer than usual. It also looks like the warm-ish weather isn’t going to be over just yet. However, I’m slowly starting to look forward to autumn and winter, and especially Christmas of course:) But first, let’s say goodbye to August with some favourites.

Dark blue striped denim jacket w. zipper: I don’t feature clothing pieces in these favourites posts very often, because I tend to wear a lot of different clothes, however, I’ve been wearing this denim jacket as a layer in the slightly cooler mornings so many times this past month.

NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow tint pen (shade: Ash Brown): I bought this brow product a few years ago, but never really got into it. I decluttered it because I thought the shade wasn’t right for me, but I decided to try it again in a different shade. Or so I thought. I’d picked up the same shade, but for some reason, I like it a lot better now. Maybe my old one had changed colour over time.

The 7 Virtues Clemetine Dream Eau de Parfum: 2025 has been the year of fragrance for me. I’ve really gotten into trying out different perfumes and body/hair mists, and it’s been a lot of fun. This perfume from The 7 Virtues is a fresh and fruity scent with notes of clementine, magnolia, and vanilla. A perfect summer scent.

Thunderbolts* (film): I love Marvel, but I haven’t been loving a lot of their latest releases. I’d heard good things about Thunderbolts*, so I watched it a couple of nights ago, and I really enjoyed it. Definitely one of the better Marvel films that has come out in years.

Good Girl Complex (Pæn pige problemet) by Elle Kennedy (book): I have another book favourite this month, and a very different one from my book favourite of last month, but a great read nonetheless. I’m pretty sure that there are two more books in this series, and I would love to read those as well.

5 favourites – July

July, I’m going to miss you so much. Despite being ill for a week, I’ve had a great summer holiday. The weather has been with us in July for the first time in many years, which makes the summer holiday even more enjoyable. I’m going back to work again on Monday, but I wish I had another week off:) However, let’s get into this month’s favourites.

Red and pink platform Teva sandals: I purchased these sandals in a Cyber Monday sale last year, hoping that I would get a lot of use out of them this summer, and I have. Tevas are so comfortable, and I can walk around in them for hours, so they’ve been perfect for going on different trips this summer.

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Lift & Flex concealer (shade: 2): I’d had this concealer on my wishlist for so long, but it was sold out in the lightest shades for ages. When I finally found it somewhere back in stock, I picked it up immediately. Initially, I wasn’t blown away by it, but it has grown on me lately, and it actually is a beautiful concealer.

Wet n Wild Megalast eyeshadow primer: I learned about this affordable eyeshadow primer through a comment on a beauty Youtube video. Someone wrote that it was a great primer if shimmers tend to crease on your eyelids, which they do on mine, because I have hooded eyelids. Some shimmers still crease on me, but I do think that this primer works quite well with some types of shimmers, and I’ve experienced less creasing when using this primer.

Jurassic World Rebirth (film): I’m always excited about a new Jurassic World film, and I didn’t know anything about Rebirth before watching it, but I really enjoyed it. As I’ve mentioned before, I love dinosaurs, so I could definitely live without the genetically engineered dinosaurs in the Jurassic World series, because they’re just monsters and not real dinosaur species, but I really liked the premise and plot of this film.

Weyward (Kvinderne fra Weyward Cottage) by Emilia Hart (book): I don’t remember the last time I read a book that wasn’t a children’s book (I read a lot of those though) or a non-fiction book I had to read for education purposes, but for some reason, I had an urge to read a novel this summer. I found Weyward by Emilia Hart at one of my local supermarkets (I read it in Danish though, hence the Danish title in parentheses). I thought it sounded interesting, and it was. I read it in a few days in the very beginning of my summer holiday, and I really enjoyed it. I’m reading another book now, and I already have a few more in mind that I would like to read, so I hope that I’ll have time to do so, when life becomes busy again soon.

5 favourites – June

A busy June has come to an end. On Friday my summer holiday begins, and I can’t wait! I don’t remember the last time I needed a long holiday this much. June was a month of ups and downs (probably more downs than ups), so I think some time off will do me good. I have a couple of trips planned for the upcoming month, which I’m very excited about, but I’m also excited about spending time at home with my family. The weather has been lovely lately, and I hope that it’ll continue that way. Besides being excited about my upcoming holiday, I’m also excited about this month’s favourites, so let’s get into those.

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip gel tint (shade: 2): I’d heard good things about this product, so I was very excited to try it out. I love that it grips to the skin just like a gripping primer, so it last very well, and it has a beautiful natural, glowy finish. I wore it to a wedding two weekends ago, and it looked great all day and night.

Glamlite Translucent Bake and Set powder: This is another product that I’d heard good things about, and I agree that it’s such a good powder. It’s been my go-to powder this past month, and it looks great on the undereye area as well as all over the face.

Nabla Freckle Maker: I’ve run out of my beloved KimChi Chic Candy Girl Fake Freckles in Afternoon in The Flower Field, so I wanted to try out a new freckle product and went for the Nabla Freckle Maker. It’s really good and easy to work with.

KAYALI Capri in a Bottle Lemon Sugar I 14 Eau de Parfum: I got the entire set of KAYALI summer scents last summer, and I’ve used them all since, but my favourite is the Lemon Sugar scent. It’s sweet and delicious.

Lilo & Stitch (live action film): I’m a huge Disney fan, and Lilo & Stitch (2002) is very special to me and my sisters, so I invited them to watch the 2025 live action version with me in the beginning of June, and we all loved it. We were worried that it might ruin the original film for us, but it didn’t. It was such an enjoyable film, and the live action Stitch might be even cuter than the cartoon version.

5 favourites – February

The last month of winter has come to an end, and I’m so ready for spring! The weather forecast includes slightly warmer weather next week, which I’m very excited about. Spring is the time for a fresh starts, and I think that is just what I need. But first, let’s say goodbye to winter and talk about some favourites from February (it’s mostly make-up as per usual).

Colourpop Pretty Fresh Set It Up primer: This primer from Colourpop is fairly new, and it’s a great allround primer. It’s described as a gel cream which is a texture I really like, when it comes to primers, and so far it has worked under every foundation I’ve worn with it.

GlossGods Cosmetics That Base! Crease killer eyeshadow base: From a face primer to an eyeshadow primer. I’ve had this eyeshadow primer/base for about 1,5 years, and I’ve liked it, but I’ve worn it more frequently recently. It’s great underneath pastels and bright eyeshadows.

KVD Beauty Dazzle Stick long-wear eyeshadows: I’ve actually loved these shadow sticks ever since they launched, and as you can see I’ve collected them all. I’ve been using them a handful of times this past month on days where I had to leave early for work, because they’re quick and easy to apply with a finger, and they’re super pretty and sparkly and long-wearing, as the name suggests.

Lethal Cosmetics Aura multichrome liners: I’ve tried a few different formulas of multichrome eyeliners, but these ones from Lethal Cosmetics are my favourites so far. The colours are beautiful, and they show up quite well in the waterline, which not all multichrome liners do.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (film): I love Bridget Jones! Bridget Jones’s Diary (the first film) is one of those films that I can always watch. I actually feel that way about all the films in this series, and even though this last film is not my most favourite from the series, I enjoyed it very much.

Happy New Year! 2024 was one of the toughest years of my life, but the year would have been even tougher, if I hadn’t had my amazing little family to help me get through the tough times. Luckily, I feel like things are looking up, and I’m hoping for a much better 2025. But first, let’s say goodbye to 2024 with some December favourites.

R.E.M. Beauty Sweetener foundation (shade: Fair 6 CN): I actually purchased the foundation the first time around the time of the launch, but I got a shade that was too light, so I obviously didn’t really use it. Last month, I decided to pick it up again in a different shade, and I’ve already gotten quite a lot of use out of it, because the formula and finish is actually very nice.

Catrice Multi-Chrome eye pencil in C01 (from advent calendar 2024): This is an unexpected favourite of mine. You never know, if you’re going to get much use out of products from advent calendars, but I’ve used this multi-chrome eye pencil from the Catrice The Great Christmas advent calender multiple times, and it’s been perfect with a lot of my Christmas make-up looks.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Cherry: I’ve featured the ABH lip liners in a favourites post before, but I had to shout out the shade Cherry, which has been my go-to red lip liner this Christmas season.

Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Candy Cane: I love the scent and taste of candy canes, and this balm has been my go-to on days where I haven’t worn make-up. It smells so good.

Wicked (film): I didn’t know much about Wicked, before watching the film, but I knew some of the music, and I love musicals, so I was very interested in watching it. I watched it at the cinema with my boyfriend, and we both loved it! I’m very excited for part 2.

Happy Halloween! I can’t believe that Spooktober is over by tomorrow. I’ve never been one to celebrate Halloween and spooky season, but I’ve been really into this year. I’ve bought a lot of decorations, and I’ve been wearing Halloween inspired outfits this whole week, and it’s been so fun. But lots of other things happended this month. I had a week long holiday and I celebrated my daughter’s birthday with my family. I can’t believe that I have a two-year-old! Time really flies, and expecially when you have children. Anyways, I’m looking forward to me and my boyfriend’s annual Halloween date tonight (we watch The Nightmare Before Christmas and eat Halloween sweets), and I’m also really looking forward to moving into the Christmas season. But first, here are my 5 favourites from the month of October.

Short pearl necklace (Asos Design): I actually just posted a haul featuring this short pearl necklace yesterday. As I wrote I love me some pearls, and this has been one of my go-to necklaces this past month.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip primer + 4% Niacinamide: You know how much I love the original Power Grip primer from e.l.f. Cosmetics, so I was excited to try the 4% Niacinamide version, and I think I like it just as much as the original one. I’ve used it a lot this past month that’s for sure.

MAC Shape + Shade brow tint (shade: Taupe): I think I got this brow product as a gift with purchase from the MAC website at some point, and I started using it, when I’d used up my Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil. As it turns out, I really like it. At least the felt tip end (I haven’t used the “powder” end yet).

Nobody Wants This (TV series): For once I’ve had time to watch some TV series in October, so I watched the first season of “Nobody Wants This” in a few days during my holiday. I love a good rom-com, and this was really good. I’m excited for season 2.

And Just Like That… (TV series): I’ve been hesitant to watch “And Just Like That…”, because I love Sex and the City so much, but I decided to finally watch it, and I was very pleasantly surprised. It’s always difficult to do a follow up to an iconic series or film, but in this case I think it was done right.

5 favourites – July

I’m so lucky that I got to have all of July off to relax and reset before getting back to work again. Especially the last couple of weeks have been some of the best weeks this entire year, which has been a rough year in general. However, I think I might be ready to get back into the swing of things. The weather this past month has been mixed, but we’re had really nice warm and sunny weather lately, and I hope that it’ll continue a little longer. I would say that most of my favourites this month relate to summer and sunny weather in some shape or form, so let’s just get into it.

Crás pastel striped hat: You know I love a hat and especially during summer to protect my scalp (and eyes) from the sun. When I purchased this hat back in March, I had a feeling that it would be my go-to hat this summer and I was right.

Essence Got A Crush On Apricots freckles pen (shade: 01 Après Apricots): I love to add some faux freckles to my face especially during the warmer months, and I’ve been loving this freckles pen from Essence. Sadly, it’s limited edition. Also, it works best together with powder complexion/cheek products.

Glowish Soft Radiance bronzing powder (shade: 01 light): I’ve had this bronzer for a couple of years, and I’ve liked it, but earlier this year I rediscovered it and found out what a beautiful bronzer it is. It’s the only bronzer I brought with my on holiday earlier this month.

Sol de Janeiro Carioca Crush perfume mist: I’m still loving the Sol de Janeiro perfume mists and the Carioca Crush scent is one of this year’s limited edition summer scents. It’s a very light and fruity scent, so indeed perfect for summer.

Bridgerton – season 2 + 3 (TV series): I featured Bridgerton season 1 in my favourites post last month, and when I was ill in the beginning of this month I watched season 2 and 3 within days. I really enjoyed season 2 and 3 as well, and I can’t wait for the next season.

Can you believe that we’re already half way through 2024?! I can’t. Once again, this past month has been a month of ups and downs, but luckily I’ve got all of July off, and I’m definitely in need of a holiday. I’m hoping for nice, sunny weather, but you never know when you live in Denmark. July is not always the best summer month weather wise. Anyways, I actually had a lot of favourites this month, but I did manage to narrow it down to five, so let’s talk about those.

Tank tops: A few years back I wasn’t really into wearing tank tops, but recently my collection of tank tops have grown, and I’ve worn them so often this past month, often underneath another layer, but also on their own when the weather was nice.

Big flower brooches: I’ve been wanting some Carrie Bradshaw like big flower brooches for so long, and I finally came across these two (and a couple more actually). Carrie Bradshaw is one of my biggest style icons, and she’s one of my main outfit inspirations this summer, so these flower brooches are must haves.

L’Oréal Glotion natural glow enhancer (shade: 901 Fair Glow): There are a lot of products like this on the market, and I own a couple of different ones, but this one sets itself apart from the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter and its dupes in both the packaging and application, but also when it comes to the shade. This L’Oréal one is more of a cool toned pinky shade, whereas the others I’ve tried are more champagne or golden champagne, so I like to have different options, and I do think that the L’Oréal Glotion is stunning.

Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish pressed powder (shade: Soft Porcelain): I have to admit that I purchased this powder mainly for the beautiful packaging, however, I’ve found out that it’s a beautiful powder. It’s very lightweight and it just makes you skin look good.

Bridgerton – season 1 (TV series): I know, I know. How did it take me so long to watch the first season of Bridgerton. I don’t really know, but I do know that I’m so glad that I finally started watching this series, because I was hooked right away. I’ve already started watching season 2, and I’m excited to continue to follow the Bridgerton family.
